Hallstatt
On the shores of the idyllic Hallstätter See, the tiny community of
Hallstatt is perhaps the most beautiful example of the many quaint
traditional villages in Upper Austria. Hallstatt's beauty is matched by
that of its lake, the Hallstätter See - 8.5 kilometers long and up to two
kilometers wide - has long drawn tourists for its excellent fishing and
boating, as well as its stunning scenery.
Really several excellent attractions in one, Hallstatt Salt World lies
high above the town on the 1,030-meter-tall Salzburg (Salt Mountain).
Accessible by cable car or a three-minute journey aboard the funicular
railway, it's well worth visiting for the wonderful views from the
Skywalk, a viewing platform extending over a sheer drop with
Hallstatt 350 meters directly below. More spectacular views are from
historic Rudolf's Tower (Rudolfsturm), an old fortification built to
defend the mines against
invaders, now a restaurant
and observation tower. The
star attraction, however, is the
7,000-year-old salt mine itself.
Highlights include the story of
the preserved corpse found here in 1734, known as the Man in Salt,
along with fascinating displays of ancient (and modern) mining
methods, and a chance to visit the Subterranean Salt Lake. Kids of all
ages will want to whizz down the 64-meter-long Mega-slide, Europe's
longest wooden slide (all of it underground).
